Modelling jobs and more...

Well organised and great communicationModels Direct are super to deal with, keeping in touch regularly and ensuring everything is in order, both before and after the shoot. I had a great filming day with a fab team from IMA, who were welcoming and well organised.
I was needed a number of times during the day for stills and video, so I'm glad I took a book to read for the in-between moments.
As I left the venue, the Creative Director spontaneously asked everyone to give me a round of applause, which was lovely!
Date of experience: 20 May 2025

Today was my very first ad shoot, and I have to say, it was an exciting, fun-filled, and eye-opening experience.
From the moment I arrived at the studio, there was a buzz of energy in the air. The team was welcoming, and everyone seemed to be in their zone, preparing for what would turn out to be an unforgettable day. As we got started with the first few shots, I was amazed at how many people were behind the scenes, coordinating everything to perfection. The lighting, camera angles, and even the smallest details were all being adjusted to ensure the best results.
It was fascinating to see all the effort that goes into creating a perfect shot. While I expected there to be a lot of waiting around and setting up, the team made it smooth and fun with music, laughter, and light conversation. By midday, I felt like I had settled into my role and was having a blast.
It was not just about posing; it was about feeling the moment and connecting with the camera. I definitely felt more comfortable as the day went on, and there were several moments where I genuinely enjoyed being in front of the camera.
I would also thank my agent, Charlie, for her constand and prompt response to every query I had and in making this process as smooth and memorable as possible for me. In short, my first ad shoot was a thrilling experience. It was everything I hoped for and more, and I can’t wait to do it again!

What a fantastic photoshoot with so many amazing products shortly due to hit the market. The children had a blast!
Models Direct kept us up-to-date with important details leading up to the shoot, ensured all questions were answered, and shared a clear itinerary so we all knew what to expect in advance.
On set, the photographers and client put the children and ease, quickly built a rapport and balanced support with giving them the freedom they needed to really show the products off. The children’s input was valued throughout the day and it was a great opportunity for the client to ‘road-test’ the products too.
Models Direct followed up with us the next morning and shared some brilliant feedback. Their communication and support throughout has been exemplary.
Overall, there was lots of fun and laughter, and some fabulous photos as a result. The whole experience has given the children a real confidence boost and they can’t wait to get involved in more!"

I was surprised that I was shortlisted for this position in Business Disability forum in University of Reading by Models Direct for the SECOND assignment.
I arrived at the University on time, which I had to informed the client by texted I was in the building (that was in the Call Sheet) and the client was very pleased and came down to meet and bring me back upstairs to the top floor and the client introduced me to her team, which I felt at ease and the photographer as well. Didn't get the chance to talk with the rest of the models when I arrive, but as day goes on, I was good to fit in nicely with the models as well.
A productive day for me, I had to work closely with the photographer (she had to walk through or around to point direction for me to take or having a small conversation with the model that I am paired with or just having an eye contact etc) and the model for showing or demonstrated how to do this or that. The client had to be involved in each department (it was nice to explore and to take part in this projects) of how the layout of myself and others models to be, as working together as a team work. Example, I had to deal with a sick patient in knowing in how much pain she could be in etc. I was also working in a laboratory using scientific methods by demonstrated it in how to or use it etc by assisting him. I got to work as staff in the University Reception and having customers come over to me and ask me questions or advice, direction, or interest of where to go etc. This is such a lovely experience for me and the rest of the models that took part in this incredible interesting Business Disability forum.
Very grateful of the outcome to this amazing assignment. Thank you so much for this opportunity! Icelia
